Aim: To enjoy the church's position in the risen and exalted Christ.
Doctrine: Christ's redemptive fullness is realized in and through His church, as a result of His exaltation and as the means of His glorification.
Exegesis: The Father's commission of the crowned Christ: the God-Man is now Lord over everything (v. 22a); the Messiah is God's gracious gift to the church (v. 22b); the church's Savior includes us in His reign (v. 23).
Further application: What the complete Christ means to us, His church: He (alone) is our rightful claim to greatness and happiness, and He (alone) bridges us from hell, to heaven.
Key verses: vv. 22-23 ''And [the Father] put all things under [Christ's] feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fill all in all.''
